The property and staff are really nice and the rooms are very accommodating. Beds are comfortable and the showers are really nice. The only negative is that the restaurant is not open on Sunday and there are very few places in town to eat. We stayed on our trip through to New York and on our way back to Indiana; it was that nice.

Beautiful in-room bathroom complete with rainfall shower head and towel warmer. Live music in the lobby on Friday evening and food options on site. Absolutely perfect location for campus visits or family visits with ONU students, as you can’t get any closer. Will absolutely stay here again if my son chooses to go to ONU.

We were a bit disappointed the restaurant and bar were not open when we arrived; closed on Mondays? But Main street was less than a mile away with many choices. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean! Had a great nights sleep in a comportable bed.

It’s great to return to this SPACIOUS room at the Inn. Enjoyed dinner on site, quick, pleasant staff. Their patio is lovely. Many amenities, frig, microwave, makeup mirror, great space for work. Only downside is paired down continental breakfast from last time I stayed and all rooms are clustered together beyond conference rooms.

It's a nice hotel. The bed is comfortable but pillows not so much. We had a rain shower head that unfortunately did drip sometimes during the night. It was hard to control the hot/cold water in the shower. Breakfast was disappointment. Description says Continental and there were an assortment of bagels and granola bars. Not what I would have expected. Overall, room is clean and hotel is clean. We had a drink and the chicken bite appetizer at the bar. Tasted good.

The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and the concierge provided valuable information about the local area. The room was immaculate and elegantly decorated, offering a perfect blend of comfort and luxury.

I booked this hotel as it was the closest one to my destination that had decent ratings. It did not disappoint. The room was clean, spacious and professionally decorated. Check in was quick and painless. Bathroom was clean and contained all the attributes one might expect. The hotel sits adjacent to Ohio Northern’s campus which provided a site for a lovely morning walk. The only complaint would be that there was virtually no fast breakfast options at or near the hotel except for McDonald’s.

The Inn is a great place to stay in Ada especially for Ohio Northern events. There is only one thing I would improve. The breakfast. The continental breakfast is lacking choices. A hot breakfast w a protein would put the Inn at 10 out of 10 stars.

Excellent facilities. If you are going to Ohio Northern University you can walk to any place on the campus. All ONU offices are across the street. The Freed Center is across the parking lot. However, it is a bit more pricey than other nearby hotels though the closest one is 10 miles away. The one big downside is that it has the worst "free breakfast" of any hotel I have ever stayed at. It's free but there is virtually nothing there for breakfast. Really shabby for an otherwise pretty nice hotel though it is still better than nothing.
